Benefit concert in aid of renovations for the venue. A show that will be long remembered - in a unique presentation - Bruce and the band run through the entire //Darkness On The Edge Of Town// and //Born To Run// albums in order, as close to the original recordings as possible. Mark Pender guests on trumpet for "Meeting Across the River;" a full horn section (consisting of Pender on trumpet, Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg on trombone, and Jerry Vivino and Ed Manion on saxophones) joins the band on "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and the encores. A test run, perhaps, for what would become a regular occurrence towards the end of the //Working On A Dream// tour.
